It draws out the implicit evil in Marlow's colonialism by close attention to the muted concepts and vague ideas in his intimate inner voice. Marlow's affective but uncritical formulations of "idea" and "work" reflect colonial ideology in unsettling ways secretly allowing for the justification of criminal evil forms of colonial practice. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.
